While Europes technology ecosystem is growing, theres sometimes a view that it lags behind the U.S. for healthtech or Health 2.0, or whatever you want to call it. But thats basically bullshit. While Europe has been a slow starter, its catching up very fast. There are many new EU-based healthtech companies, and a brief analysis of CrunchBase shows that while the U.K. has the most, its closely followed by Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain.
